Out On The Town Earrings
Notes
Little love knot = Pull up a loop approximately one fourth of an inch long. (Try to be consistent.) Hold
the base of this stitch with your thumb and middle finger so strands are separated. Yo, pull through loop
(still keep your fingers there!). Insert hook between the loop (to the right) and the strand (to the left), yo,
pull through, yo, pull through 2 loops. Pull up on the loop on hook to cinch/tighten.
You do not have to use the exact beads or sizes of beads as pictured. Same goes for thread.
Placement of earring findings (and which ones you use) is entirely up to you. Simple fishhooks would
be perfect.
Crochet rather tightly--it needs to curl!
Pattern:
Thread beads.
Row 2:Sc in 2nd ch from hk. (Ch 6, sc in ch-1 sp preceding each love knot) 5 times. Ch 1, turn.
Row 3: Ch 1. Work 10 sc into each ch-6 lp across, ending with a sl st in 2nd row's beg sc. Turn.
Row 4:*Ch 3, sc in next sc. Ch 1, bring bead up to loop, yo past bead, pull through (keeping bead in front
of work with your thumb), ch 1, sc in next sc. Ch 3, sc in next sc. Ch 1, bring bead up to loop, yo past bead,
pull through (pushing bead to back of work with thumb), ch 1, sc in next sc.
Repeat from * around (tightly)... (one plain ch-3 loop, one beaded-to-the-front ch-3 loop, one plain ch-3
loop, one beaded-to-the-back ch-3 loop, repeat around).
End with a sc in last sc, tie off, weave in ends. Attach earring findings where you think best.
